when it comes to getting more money to washington. but not nearly the same for control spending in washington. not when the union members descend on capitol today. and others demand social security be put off next year. here is what i'm seeing if the waning weeks of the year. tax hikes now, maybe, maybe spending cuts later, increasingly though unlikely. is washington finding more ways to feed the beast instead of entertaining the beast? this will come up next year. when they get to entitlement reform and tax reform. that is me saying i'll exercise and eat right. some day i might. this day i'm just not. here is the difference, my friend. i'm the one whose shirt buttons pop when i fail. we're the ones losing their shirts when they fail. look what they are doing in hollywood before my trip out west. these guys, you know, thank you.
